Fractured parts that we've seen at reflow in the past are related to trapped moisture in the part, out-gassing at temp, and fracturing the part. I have seen this on ceramic resonators in the past; don't know why this type of part seems prone to this

Steve, We have had the same problem at my company and unfortunately I do not have any good news for you. We are using a pizza slicer type depanalizer from FKN and if the MLCC caps are layed out too close to the edge they still break. We had to add th

Key benefits for us: Labour saving - machine part of SMT line (mainly one product type, 2 shifts), so boards effectively delivered ready for the next stage, with no human interaction. Uniformity of finish - where we had a critical dimension we run

It really depends on how you depanel these, If you are using a machine you can probably get away with the 1mm, If not, the 5mm is there to help reduce the cahnce of fracturing the component. Some interesting notes about having a defined keepout is

A few weeks back we experienced a wave process problem where we received deposits on our pcb. At first we though it was dedrites but after an outside analysis of the deposits they were found to be tin. We have tried to remove the deposits with brus

Flex cracking under the terminations is generally regarded as one of the primary causes of failure of ceramic chips. If you can see cracks in the solder joints from board flex, those chips are certainly strongly suspect, and you must assume there is

One problem you may have with deeper scoring is not so much broads breaking apart unintentionally, but warping upstream while on the SMT line which can cause sagging. This may give you transport issues from one machine to another, and if you have an

I read your request for design information on panel layout for V-scoring, and felt the need to respond. Scored PWB's are indeed more efficient to produce and depanel than tab routed PWB's, but there are also drawbacks associated with this method. T

Pete: What�s a "free issue PCB panel"? Is that like "consigned material" here in the states? In response to your question, several possible approaches (in no particular order): 1 Router approach: 1a Wood working router * Go over to Sears and buy a

A couple of things: Does the cap break if you try to remove it with hot air? If not, than you are breaking the caps do to mechanical stress. We have had similar issues. I don't think your board is suffering from mechanical stress from depaneling o
